Bring back in postage of nhs Covid 19 tests for those at high risk and disabled

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government has changed the process to receive free tests in the nhs. They now expect people to go into pharmacy’s every 7 days to collect them, nothing has been put in place for those who are disabled, housebound,have severe mental health impacting their access they need access to treatments
Equality Act 2010. Discrimination which is against the Equality Act is unlawful,
Being treated unfavourably means you’re worse off because of the way you've been treated, many of those that are high risk also have support needs, removing the system they use to access tests is denying them the same as someone who doesn’t have those needs, I’m asking a system be put back in place to post tests to those who have mental/physical impairments.
